SPOILER ALERT!!! This article contains potential spoilers for the cast of âSurvivor 49â.
The wait is almost over! CBS has officially revealed that âSurvivor 49,â the latest installment of the Emmy Award-winning survival reality TV competition series, will make its highly anticipated debut on Wednesday, September 24 at 8:00pm ET.Â
CBS shared the news in an Instagram post on July 10, with the seasonâs premiere date written in the sand on the beaches of Fiji.
âMark your calendars! Another season of âSurvivorâ is coming our way soon!â CBS captioned the post.
With a concrete date to look forward to, hereâs everything you need to know about âSurvivor 49.â
How Long Will âSurvivor 49â Episodes Be?
The season will make its CBS debut with a double-premiere episode on September 24, though subsequent episodes will continue to fill âSurvivorâsâ reserved 90-minute slot on CBSâs Wednesday night line-up. While the show used to air 60-minute episodes, this trend changed in response to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. When fans applauded the longer format, CBS made the change permanent.
When is the Finale of âSurvivor 49â?
Assuming the âSurvivor 49â continues the new-era trend of dividing the 26-day game into 13 episodes, the season will likely end in mid to late December. âSurvivor 47,â for example, aired its finale episodes on December 18, 2024. As December 10 is generally considered to be âtoo earlyâ for a âSurvivorâ finale, and Christmas Eve falling on a Wednesday in 2025, the finale will mostly air on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.
Who is on the Cast of âSurvivor 49â?
Though CBS has yet to âofficiallyâ reveal the identities of the âSurvivor 49â castaways barring their brief appearances in a first look at the season following the finale of âSurvivor 48,â sleuthing fans have already filled in the blanks. A full rumored cast list leaked by Inside Survivor place players like alt-rock singer Annie Davis, former Marvel executive Nate Moore, and Alberta Ice Pilots hockey player Jake Latimer on âSurvivor 49â this fall.
Rizo Velovic and Savannah Louie, also on the leaked cast list, have been heavily rumored to be the mystery âSurvivor 49â players returning to play in back-to-back seasons on âSurvivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans.â
Jeff Probst, who has helmed the series since its debut in 2000, will return to host both forthcoming seasons.
When was âSurvivor 49â Filmed?
Despite formerly marooning castaways in remote locations like the Australian Outback and the Brazilian Highlands, âSurvivorâ has filmed exclusively in Fijiâs Mamanuca Islands since Season 33 in 2016. âSurvivor 49â continued the tradition, landing in Fiji to begin filming in April 2025. Filming reportedly wrapped filming the following month, continuing the new-era tradition of recording the Final Tribal Council votes on location.
Where Can I Watch âSurvivor 49â?
As always, new episodes of âSurvivor 49â will be available to watch on CBS every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET following its September 24 debut. For fans unable to catch the show on cable, new episodes will be available to stream the following morning on the Paramount+ app.Â
